Frost said, The subject of poetry should be common
in books should happen to everyone but it should
have occurred to no one before as material
(Trachea 165). He was known to use anything he
could to help the rea...

Evilness Of Slavery Learning And Knowledge Douglass
695 words
Learning and knowledge make all the difference in
the world, as Frederick Douglass proves by
changing himself from another mans slave to a
widely respected writer. A person is not

completely independent, and through learning can
move proverbial mountains. The main focus of this
essay is on the lives of the American Slaves, and
their treatment by their masters. The brutality
brought upon the slaves by their holders was
cruel, and almost sadistic. The...

H G Wells Time Traveller

... disposition. The only way the Time Traveller
changed throughout the story was in his knowledge
of the future of mankind. This knowledge, I
believe, made him more prepared and confident in
his own time and place. However, he needed not be
confident, for in the end, he didnt stay in his
own place for long. Though the Time Traveller was
the main character in the story, the narrator was
probably the most important. He was one of the men
at every dinner, so his insights into the story
were very a...

this and he follows a pattern of having relatively
long paragraphs of descriptions that place the
image of the chase in our minds, such as For a

Whitman Sung of Sensuality Walt Whitman was at
once more sensual in his imagery than any of his
contemporaries. He dared to mention sensations of
skin, eyes, ears and sexual organs, a things which
was just not done during his time. Certainly he
talks of love and sexuality too, but even his
sensual imagery was often shocking to people of
his time. (Encarta Encyclopedia 2006) Whitman is
reputed to have been a closet homosexual, but when
I read these poems I felt that he might even have

book, I had a problem with trying to stay awake: I

tension between neighbors rose, I could not put

descriptions of the snow banks, or the emotional
accounts of the townspeople, David Guterson? s

As I opened the cover of The Jungle, I anticipated
reading a tragic story about the cruelness
inflicted upon a poor, working-class family. I had
read an excerpt from the novel and had conversed
with people who had read it; I thought the story

just another? American Dream? type story. Jurgis
